[Intro: Rick Ross]
I used to see niggas on TV, man
I used to be like, "Yo, them niggas so blessed"
You know what I'm sayin'?
If I had that opportunity, you know what I'm sayin'?(Maybach Music)(Black Metaphor)

Right now, really me just seeing what Wayne going through as an artist, me idolizing Birdman at a time, me looking up to Lil Wayne, Wayne being the first artist making to make so many feats not just as an artist but an artist coming through the South, that’s something I took personal. For me to see the way things are transpiring, I can’t respect that, and I don’t respect that.

The track samples Camilo Sesto’s “Agua De Dos Rios,” the same song Jay Z used as the basis for his 2000 song “Where Have You Been.” Coincidentally, Jay’s track finds him and Beanie Sigel chastising someone they once looked up to as well, throwing shots at their fathers for falling short of their expectations.

What was Birdman's reaction to this song?

I don’t get caught up in hoe shit, man. I just keep doing what I’m doing and keep pushing. I don’t get caught up in that, I don’t play like that. I’m a man and I stand my ground and I do my thing. Numbers don’t lie, and that’s all I give a fuck about: numbers, and puttin' them up."

Is there a reason that he decided to put this record out?

You know, I just think it’s so f–ked up. Us seeing Lil Wayne’s [situation] and suffering from that, I think we kind of all got used to it. I think the culture has f–king accepted that Wayne would not put out another album. And that’s not the way the game [should be]. That’s not the way we designed this. That’s not the way this is supposed to be.

When we come up from the mud together, it’s not supposed to be this way. Birdman is supposed to be in that f–king building making those f–king people give him money to take care of his man. They supposed to be in the f–king [building], flipping over desks in those f–king offices, fighting to get money. Not f–king suing each other, fighting lawsuits and everybody starving. Not putting out music, not being creative. Us not doing what we came here for. There’s nothing more I hate than that – us not doing what we came here for.
